If you use the "Bespoke" section when it comes to measuring trousers (meaning you don't use try-ons), here is how you should proceed:
- Select the cut your customer desires. Basically, the cut accounts for the allowance given to the thighs and the seat of the trousers.
- In order to respect your customers' proportions, we suggest that you always keep in mind the overall look of the garments you create when inputting measurements.
Outseam (trousers length):
- Put the measuring tape on the top of the waistband.
- Align the tape with the outseam.
- Measure to where the customer wants the trousers to end.
- NB: usually, one measures to the middle of the heel.
Thighs:
- Put the measuring tape on the fullest part of the thigh.
- Make sure the tape is leveled.
- Input the measurement you read.
- The allowance will be added automatically depending on the cut you select.
- NB: the finished thighs measurement should be close to the u-rise measurement.
Trousers leg opening:
- Put the measuring tape on the calf.
- Input the skin calf measurement as the leg opening.
- NB: you may increase or decrease this measurement depending on the customer's shape.
U-rise:
- Put the measuring tape between the client's legs, from the top of the front waistband to the top of the back waistband.
- Verify there is neither a loose nor a tightening on the measuring tape.
- input the measurement you read.
- NB: the u-rise measurement should be close to the finished thighs measurement.
- For Zipper length - average will be 0.21" ~ 0.24" of the u-rise.
Zipper length 4.8" ~ 7.2" is used for u-rise 20" ~ 32";
Zipper length 7" ~ 10.5" is used for u-rise 33" ~ 44".
Seat:
- Put the measuring tape on the most prominent part of the seat.
- Make sure the tape is levelled.
- Input the measurement you read.
- The allowance will be added automatically depending on the cut you select.
Waist:
- Put the measuring tape where the customer is planning on wearing his trousers.
- Input the measurement you read.
NB: Please note that all the measurement sections that are grey (not black) are NOT mandatory.
